ROCKLAND (WGME) -- Rockland Police got a call Thursday night about a skunk wandering around the parking lot of an apartment complex with a jar of peanut butter stuck on his head.

“We can't blame the skunk; peanut butter is awesome. If there were a jar of peanut butter big enough that we could get our head in, we probably would, too. But, we have the advantage of possessing hands to remove said jar, while Mr. Skunk does not,” Rockland Police wrote on Facebook.

So Officer Addison Cox came to the little guy’s rescue.

She was able to pull the peanut butter jar off the skunk's head and he scampered away without unleashing a drop of spray, according to police.
